Former Los Angeles Sparks' star Candace Parker, who spent 13 seasons with L.A. and led the purple and gold to a WNBA championship in 2016, will be inducted into the 2026 Women's Basketball Hall of Fame class on June 27, per an Oct. 30 announcement.

Parker joins WNBA icons Elena Delle Donne and Cheryl Reeve in receiving the honor. ESPN announcer Doris Burke will also be inducted.

Furthermore, on Nov. 1, the MLB's Los Angeles Dodgers won their second straight World Series title. Following the thrilling Game 7 victory, both the WNBA's Sparks and star forward Dearica Hamby shared support for their fellow L.A. team.

"@Dodgers ⁩ DID THAT!!!!!!" Hamby said.
